posted 28 Sep 2015, 00:38 by Kate Hunt

On
Thursday 17 September, a group of students from Millbrook Academy had the
opportunity to participate in the Young Writer's Festival at Oxford University.

The event was organised by the writing charity First Story and gave students
the chance to work on their creative writing in workshops run by published
authors and poets in the prestigious grounds of Lady Margaret Hall College.

Authors and poets gave poetry presentations and interviews and there were books
available for students to buy at a reduced price, which poets and authors were
signing on the day.

English
teacher, Mrs Wells said. “This was a fantastic day for Millbrook students and a
brilliant opportunity to work first hand with published authors and poets. Some
of the students were really inspired by the experience and I'm looking forward
to continuing that momentum with the Writers in Residence project at Millbrook
over the next year, in partnership with First Story and Cheltenham Festivals”.
